2. CAD-Specs The fundamental Problem

3. Understanding the meaning of digital information BEAM

4. Understanding the meaning of digital information The DATA DICTIONARY is about the MEANING OF THINGS rather than the naming of things. Earth relocating implement I actually prefer to be called Steve SpadeShovel

6. bSDD – How does it work? CAD (BIM) Model –bSDD GUID = xyz –Name = “ceiling panel” –Length = –Width = –Thickness = –Geometric position (x, y, z) –Quantity Data Source (eg. master specification) –bSDD GUID = xyz –Name = “acoustic panel” –STC Rating = –Flame spread resistance = –Install into suspended t-bar –Submit shop drawing

10. DATA DICTIONARY 3F2504E0-4F89.... How it works

11. BSDD – What else does it do? Accessible via software/internet (cloud) Manages synonyms, multiple languages Classifies –Any classification, as long as it resides in bSDD Gets specialization hierarchy –Super-types, sub-types Get lists of components Get lists of properties Get lists of relevant standards Select from many ‘contexts’ –(a context is a set of relations)

12. BSDD - Applications No. 1:Access BIM Data Stores –Spec database –Product information –Costing –… Translate Classify

13. The Buildingsmart model

14. The BuildingSMART Model IFC: –The ‘transport’ medium through which data is transmitted IFD: –The ‘meaning’ of the data being transmitted IDM: –The ‘process’ (which part is being sent, what is it, who sent it to whom, and when)

15. bSDD - Status API operational Pilot Projects: –Approximately 15 participants (at least 10 countries) –N.A./Europe: Weekly –N.A./Australasia: Weekly –Subjects: Ceiling tile, VAV Terminal box –Developing content management guidelines

16. BSDD Status Customers: –CB/NL: Dutch, available to all Dutch users –Cobuilder: NO company, storing product data –IFD Sign-on (NOBB, ???) Serious Interest –Saint Gobain –NBS/RIBA and bsUK (UK) –AIMCC (France) –University of Austria
